Title: Information processing device with mounted authentication device using decreasing count value to prevent theft
Inventor: FURUICHI SANEHIRO
IPC: G06F21/34
Filed: 2012-11-27
Abstract: An information processing device that performs authentication processing with a mounted authentication device that securely stores unique identification information, comprises a mounting component, a memory component which stores a table with correspondent listing of the unique identifier information of the authentication device and a count value, and a control component which, when power is activated (boot), starts by reading a first program ST1 (such as a BIOS), and reads the identification information of the mounted authentication device, references the table, and if the count value is larger than a prescribed value ST2, performs authentication processing for the authentication device ST3, and when authentication has succeeded starts by reading a second program ST4 (such as an OS), and if the authentication device continues to be mounted ST5, decreases the table count value ST6 that corresponds to the unique identification information of the authentication device. Re-authentication processing ST7 may be performed, which restricts or stops the second program if failed. This encourages the user to remove the authentication device after authentication, thus preventing the information processing device from being lost or stolen with the device still mounted.

Title: Data directed acquisition of imaging mass
Inventor: CHAPMAN RICHARD
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: Methods of ion imaging are disclosed in which mass spectral data is acquired by performing a survey scan of a two-dimensional sample, preferably a biological tissue section, at a first relatively coarse spatial resolution, a determination being made at each pixel location as to whether the mass spectral data collected therefrom satisfies a condition/criterion, such as whether it includes one or more ions of interest. If it is determined that said data does satisfy the condition then the system immediately switches to scan the sample at a higher spatial resolution, a determination being made at each of a plurality of subsequent, adjacent pixel locations as to whether the mass spectral data acquired meets the same condition. This higher resolution scan continues until a region of interest on the sample has been fully mapped out and analysed, at which point the systems returns to continue the initial survey scan at said lower spatial resolution.

Title: Mid-infrared carbon dioxide sensor
Inventor: FUJISAWA GO
IPC: G01N21/3577
Filed: 2014-09-15
Abstract: A sensor for monitoring carbon dioxide in a fluid regardless of the phase properties of the fluid, i.e. regardless of whether the fluid contacting the window is a liquid water based phase, a liquid oil-based phase, a mixture of liquid water and liquid oil-based phases, or a gas phase. The sensor includes an internal reflection window 4 for contacting with the fluid. A mid-infrared light source 1 directs a beam of mid-infrared radiation into the window and the beam is internally reflected at an interface between the window and the fluid. The reflected beam is passed through three narrow bandpass filters 5 which preferentially transmit mid-infrared radiation over bands of wavelengths corresponding to absorbance peaks of water, oil and CO2. The amount of CO2 is determined from the intensities of the mid-infrared radiation passing through the three filters. In another aspect a method of determining CO2Â­ is provided wherein the amount of CO2 is determined by calculating the phase of the fluid and the measured intensity of the radiation.

Title: On-board communication device
Inventor: FUKUI KOTARO
IPC: H04B1/3822
Filed: 2015-05-15
Abstract: When an on-board communication device 101 on a mobile body (such as a rail vehicle) transmits a self-diagnosis test message from a test signal transmission antenna 110, it can collide with a message signal transmitted from a trackside communication device 102, resulting in a failure to properly receive the message signal. In the invention, test signals generated by a test signal generation circuit 109 are of two types; long and short. The short message is transmitted from the antenna 110 and received by on-board reception antenna 114. However, the long message length is not transmitted by antenna 110 but is input directly into a decoding circuit 115 via a test signal transmission path 111. When the message signal from the trackside communication device 102 is detected, decoding and transmission of the test signals are stopped, and demodulation/decoding of the message signal from device 102 are performed so as to reliably receive the message signal from the device 102.
